Comparison
Looking for a Kicksite alternative?
Martial arts management software, and the closest to us on price. Here is where Black Belt CRM is stronger, with both price ladders side by side, checked on 1 September 2026 against the sources listed at the bottom.
The difference that is not a feature
Most membership platforms tell you how many members you have. Very few tell you why they leave — and that is not a screen somebody forgot to build, it is a consequence of how long they have been keeping records and in what shape.
Black Belt CRM has been running membership businesses since 2011 and keeps the whole record: every status change, every promotion, every attendance mark, every payment. That is what makes cohort retention curves, tenure at cancellation and churn as a rate possible. A platform holding two years of shallow data cannot produce them by adding a report.
Where we are stronger
Every band. At 25 members they are $49 and we are $39. At 40 they are $99 and we are $59. At 75 they are $149 and we are $59. At 150 they are $199 and we are $85. At 500 they are $199 and we are $125. There is no member count at which they are the cheaper option.
Pricing, side by side
Kicksite: By student count, all features at every tier.
Kicksite
| Up to 25 students | $49 |
| 26 – 50 students | $99 |
| 51 – 100 students | $149 |
| Over 100 students | $199 |
Black Belt CRM
| Up to 25 members | $39 |
| 26 – 100 members | $59 |
| 101 – 250 members | $85 |
| 251 – 500 members | $125 |
| 501 – 1,000 members | $155 |
| 1,001+ members | $195 |
Every feature is on every plan. Nothing is held back for a higher tier and there are no per-staff charges. Charged on top only if you use them: extra Locations at $39 each, payment processing, and text messaging.
Switching
The trial runs 30 days, asks for no card, and switches every feature on. Bring one program across and run it alongside what you have — that is a more honest test than any demo, including ours.
One thing we will not pretend about: our importer opens in October. Until then, moving your records across is manual. If somebody tells you migration is effortless, ask them to show you.
